<TITLE>08. Par 29-32</TITLE>L-29 She was--picked up little gadgets, you know, and say, "Look, honey; look, honey." Then she'd get nervous and run to another counter and say, "Look, honey; look, honey." And the little baby would just set staring, staring.
Then she'd go to another counter, and another counter, getting more nervous all the time. Finally, she picked up a little jingle outfit. And she shook it, and she said, "Look, darling, at this." Anything that ought to attract a little boy's attention like that. But he just set and looked, stared in space. And she fell down at the counter and begin to scream. She said, "Oh, no. It just can't be."

L-30 And the people that was in the store, they went to her to find out what was wrong. And she said, "My little boy, about a year ago, set in to just staring in space." And said, "I have done everything. I've had him to the doctor. And the doctor said he thought he was better, but he isn't." And said, "I've just done everything I can to attract his attention with little gadgets, that ought to attract a little boy's attention of his age." And said, "This little thing, little horse cart, that... It's got little jingle bells on it, like a little boy near Christmas time like this ought to be listening to this little bells in the snow and so forth." And said, "And he just sets and stares in space." Said, "He's no better." And her little mother heart screamed out for her baby, because she knew there was something mentally wrong with her baby.
I think that's a great deal with the church today. God has shook every kind of a gift and things that He could before the church. And it just sets and stares in space. "Well, that was a very nice meeting. Brother Roberts had a fine meeting." "Brother Billy Graham has great speaking." But they don't move. What we need today is a soul stirring revival, something that would go down to cause all night prayer meetings, men and women getting right with God, and cities turning to God. Great signs and wonders would just keep accumulating.

L-31 God sends His gifts; He shakes them before our eyes. And if we turn them down, then what can God do about it? If that mother thought that about her baby, what does God think tonight about His church when we've had so much before us--great men in the land: Tommy Osborn, and Brother Allen. Oh, how many great men has crossed the nation from place to place; all kinds of signs and wonders has showed up right at the end time. And yet, the church sets dazed, say, "It was pretty good. I--I believe I may go to another night, see what will take place at the next meeting."
That's not the thing to do. What we need when we see God moving in our midst is to get down to business with it, pray and cry out and do all that we know how to do. Let the Gospel in this last days attract our attention. The Bible promised that this Gospel would just become so each day...

L-32 Like in the days of Luther, he taught sanctif--or justification. It come in the minority when He come into the Wesleyan Methodist age through sanctification. Then when they'd settled down to a church and that was all there was to it, God raised up Pentecost. And now, it's got to the place that Pentecost is becoming formal and indifferent. God moves right on. That's... He won't stop at all; He goes right on.
The children of Israel followed a Pillar of Fire. And every time that Fire stopped, they stopped with It. And if they didn't move, they was left in the wilderness. They had to move where the Fire moved. That's the way God's Church always does; it moves with the Fire.
